Stick Online V3 Official Sneak Peak!

[darkflash]

ohk thanks haha sounds good!

[CherryPie]

This is.. just what I expected. Don't get me wrong, I'm only talking about the screenshots. The amount of features you are planning to ad/adding right now however is damn impressive.

Rewriting parts of the XNA framework only because you think there is room for improvement?
You really want to create one hell of a quality game!

Like I've said before, I created a 2d sidescroller mmo like SO myself with XNA and know what you are talking, but I would've never even thought of rewriting base code of the given framework, instead I was just reusing existing snippets for the acceleration engine/camera etc. With your amount of knowledge and the will to spend lots of hours in this to round even over the slightest edge, I am really really looking forward to the outcome.

I just hope you are getting someone for the leveldesigning who knows what he's doing. The randomly generated areas in minecraft and terraria are what keeps me thinking that their designers aren't creative at all (despite what anyone else is saying). I wish for SOv3 that an amazing and believable world is being created and not just some random grass, desert, fire & ice levels which may look very good but aren't connected in a believable way.

Thanks for the update & keep it up :)

I'm a person who hates changes and I have never been a friend of SO being shut down and creating a new SO from scratch but after seeing this sneak peak I really start being excited as hell. I see there's great progress going and I'm looking forward to start playing it. Well done and keep going Meiun and others!

Oh btw, didn't venuse resprite the RB into SOv3 style once? It looked awesome, I can't find the link though.

But I am certainly not just going to eat sleep and work on the game.

Seriously Meiun? Eating and sleeping? Get back to work!

Hah, but seriously. I know how it feels to focus too much on working and getting burnt out on it. The last thing any of us wants (even though some people might not understand it) is for you to work too hard on SO3. If you did we'd definitely be in danger of never seeing it.

Totally agree. It sounds like from the fact that there will be a level editor that there's an endless possibility for level design. I don't doubt that some people in this community can come up with some very interesting areas. I expect there to be immense amounts of complexity and variety in the game world.

The one thing I would say is that if you have a team of people working on creating the individual areas that you should have one person who focuses on the cohesiveness of the world as a whole. Perhaps that one person would map out the world in draft form, even as simple as saying "here there is a desert that has a cave offshooting somewhere and then an oasis at this point and leading to a sea at the very end, etc..."

Literally just pictured this in my mind and had an imaginary stick man running around through it. I must say, it was quite a blast. Lol

Looks truely amazing! :)

Few questions:
1. Have you considered any marketing/publishing (if Terraria can sell, so can this;))?
2. Are you introducing any quick-travel method (not that I necessarily want this, but still..)?
3. Is the combat animation based, or will there be projectiles (arrows, bullets, magic missiles)?
3. Will the mysterious newspaper guy return? :P

Now that's a good question! Glad you brought that up.
